GUEST,Mike O'Connor	Songs on Poldark - authenticity? (57* d)	RE: Songs on Poldark - authenticity?	14 Jul 15
A couple of thoughts on Winston Graham's lyric for "I d'Pluck a Fair Rose". 1. We thought about the words a lot. They are what Demelza sung, perhaps remembered or handed down imperfectly. Hence the inevitable discussion about the sense of the lyrics! 2. As you all know, many poems/aphorisms/songs/folk songs mention roses, thorns and pricked fingers. I don't know which may have been in WG's mind. I'm not familiar with the Gibran mentioned above and would appreciate a detailed reference. 3. Thanks for the comments on Medhel an Gwyns. 4. Hopefully one or more songs coming up in the next series.
